William is the father of all the
Collum boys that has been found in the Edgefield District of South Carolina. The
lines were changed as years went by. William is the only Collum in South
Carolina in 1790, spelled Colum in the census. The ages of the children fit the
ages of Uriah, David, Solomon, and John. Uriah being the oldest & John the
youngest.

William's name spelled Colom

1 male 26-44

William name spelled Colom

This census indicates that there
is another girl born, which we may never know who she is.

You will notice that William is
now in Edgefield County with Uriah.

On this same page is Nathan
Norris, who plays a big part in our family. Uriah and Solomon sign papers as
witnesses on a deed or will of Nathan, this makes me even more convinced that
William is the father of all. By this time, Uriah had a family and was also in
the same area, along with other names that tie into the family, Shealy's,
Reynolds, Sawyer's, Fallaw's Brodie's and the Jeter's.

weak in body but perfect mind and memory, thanks be to God for is mercy's
calling to mind the mortality of my body and knowing that is appointed for all

(2) MARGARET
MOOREHEAD
Abt. 1815 in Edgefield District, South Carolina. She was born 1778 in South
Carolina, and died Aft. 1860 in Hall, Georgia.

Notes for SOLOMON
COLLUM:

Solomon first 1799 Edgefield
County South Carolina; witness to Agnes Norris will; With Uriah Collum as
other witness. He next shows in 1810 Census of Mississippi, Amite County;
wife, one daughter and two sons under 10 years. He next shows again in 1817-19
Edgefield South Carolina selling land with his wife named Margaret. Also
Marriage record Solomon Collum and Moorhead. He next shows in 1820 Hall County
Georgia Census. David Collum was in Wilkes County Georgia in 1799 with Rachel
Smith. Uriah Collum was in Richmond County Georgia tax records 1793. I believe
Uriah, David, and Solomon are Brothers but only speculation. I also believe
Solomon was married at least two times. The first four children born by first
wife, Disey and Dicie by second wife, and one female and John Collum born 1823
Peggy is Margaret, she is the widow of Solomon Collum. Also John Collum of
Crawford Co. Georgia 1840 Census sold his property in Edgefield S.C. same time
as Solomon. Edgefield South Carolina Marriages Solomon Collum and Moorehead
Married 1817.

1800 Edgefield District, I found
a James or Hugh (almost unreadable) Moorehead. It was the only one in the area
of the Collum's which makes me believe that this could have been Margaret
(Peggy's) father.

Exparte James Jeter petition to
revoke letters of guardianship and be appointed. Ordered that the petition be
referred to the Commissioner and that he report whether Vincent Collum the
Stepfather of the infants is a fit and proper person to be entrusted with their
guardianship.

Exparte Petition of James Jeter
- Petition for appointment of guardianship. Ordered that James Jeter, Sr be
appointed guardian of the estates alone of the said minors, James Franklin
Jeter, and William Jeter, on the usual terms. But that the person of the said
minors remain in the custody and care of their mother, no charge or allowance to
be made for their board and maintenance so long as the Mother and Stepfather
Vincent Collum may be able to support them.

In Equity - Vincent E. Collum &
wife & Robert Glenn vs Ben Gregory & Wm Jeter, administers of Ely Jeter,
deceased. On motion of O'Neill & Spencer, complaints Sol., and by the consent of
the defendants Sol., ordered that the case to plead on the docket forthwith and
that the injunction to continue and the matters of account be referred to the
Commissioner. Further ordered that Sarah Collum, one of the complaints, give
testimony before the Commissioner.

Collum & Wife etal vs Benj.
Gregory & Wm Jeter, Administer. - Decretal Order. The defendant William Jeter as
administer of the intestate, put in suit for collection a note under seal
against the Complainants Collum and Glenn for $692.]/4 (sic) for articles
purchased by the Complainant Collum at the sale of the Intestate made by the
Administers and thereupon recovered a judgment. The Complainant Collum
intermarried with the widow of the intestate and was entitled to receive her
share of the personal estate. He offered his wife's share as a discount to the
action on the sealed note; but this was objected to by the Deft Jeter and
therefore could not be allowed at law. The Complainant then filed this bill for
an injunction and an account of the personal estate of the Intestate. The Conr
to whom the case was referred reported the sum of $711.52 3/4 as due the
Complainants Collum and wife for her distributive share of the estate. It
appears that the whole amount of principal and interest due at this time on the
judgment at Law William Jeter Administer of Eleazor Jeter, Deceased.. vs Vincent
E. Collum and Robert Glenn is $795.02 1/4. The Complainants will be entitled to
have a credit of $711.52 3/4 on that judgment. It is therefore ordered and
decreed that upon the Complainants paying to the Deft William Jeter the balance
of the judgment after deducting Mrs. Collum's share of the personal estate, the
Deft Jeter do enter satisfaction upon the said Judgment and that he be
perpetually enjoined from enforcing the said Judgment at law except as to the
balance which is ascertained to be $82.2 1/4 (sic).

Note: Capt. William Jeter and
Benjamin Gregory were appointed administrators with the will annexed of the
estate of Eli/Ely/Eleazer Jeter who died on 8 Feb. 1822, leaving a nuncupative
will in which he left all of his property to his wife Sally Jeter during her
life or widowhood to be used for the benefit of his children. At Sally's death
or remarriage, the property was to "be secured" to his children. By 1824 Sally
had remarried to Vincent E. Collum, and, by consent of all parties, the will was
set aside, and the estate handled as if Ely Jeter had died intestate. The estate
was finally settled in 1828 after this case went through Equity Court. The final
payment was made to L. B. Jeter as guardian of the minor children. This case is
a good example of the way in which Equity records can supplement estate files -
Ely Jeter's children were not named in his estate file, but they were named in
the Equity case.

Notes for WILLIAM
B GRANT, JR:

From Paula Grant:

William Grant, Jr. was the
second child of Capt. William B. Grant and Sarah Wofford. He was born about
1821 Habersham County, Georgia. Habersham County was formed from Franklin County
in 1818.

William married Margaret
Elizabeth Collum about 1845 in Cass County Georgia. Marriage Book C, 1843 - 1849
Cass County (which later became Gordon County) Georgia, which was destroyed
during the Civil War. No marriage record was found in Cherokee County or
surrounding Counties. Margaret was the first child and daughter of Solomon
Collum and Mary Cluster. William enlisted with three of his brother's in the
Mexican War. He was enlisted by his brother, Lieut. Nathaniel Grant April 6,
1847 at Cassville, Georgia in the 13th Regiment Infantry US Army, commanded by
Capt. Eli P. Howell. He was discharged July 15, 1848 as a Corporal at Mobile,
Alabama. Military records show his description as 5' 8", fair complexion, had
blue eyes and auburn hair and born in Habersham County, Georgia. When he
enlisted he was a farmer. William applied for Bounty Land September 15, 1848 at
Cassville, Georgia and received a 160 acre warrant # 44245 February 3, 1849. We
were unable to locate William Grant on any of the 1850 census records. In 1850
his wife Margaret and three of his children were living with Margaret's parents,
Solomon and Mary Collum in Cherokee, Georgia. There were large groups of people
and wagons leaving Northern Georgia for Arkansas around 1849 - 1850. Its
possible William Grant was among this group and went to Arkansas before his
family came. Solomon Collum and his family, several of William's brother's and
sister's also moved to Arkansas and Texas about the same time. In 1853 William
paid tax on the NE section 17, Township 3, S Range 22, W 160 acres near Mazarn
Township in Montgomery, Arkansas. This land now lies over in Garland County,
Arkansas. We were unable to find the deed for this property, but the people who
now own this land said there was an old foundation of an old home place and
fruit trees, one which was known to only grow in Georgia or the South near the
Old Dallas road which now is not in use, on this property. We made a trip to
this property in 1988 to locate this property and only found the old road and
fruit trees, and very high grass which made it hard to locate any foundation.
We did find a deed for William Grant's Military Service in the Mexican War,
which was located in Section 18, Township 3, S, Range 23, W, 160 acres in the
Mazarn Township area of Montgomery, Arkansas. This was issued to William Grant
from a returned Warrant, Warrant # 20432 160 acres issued to Thomas Nucom. It
had been returned to the General Land Office at Washington, Arkansas and
assigned to William Grant; deed dated January 10, 1854, eight months before his
death. William and his family had to have been living on a farm before this
last deed was deeded to him, as he had quite a number of stock animals and farm
tools at the time of his death.

William had been summoned to
Grand Jury duty in 1853 and another record was found asking him to appear in
court and give just cause why he should be excused from jury duty and not be
defaulted.

William died September 26, 1854
at the age of 33 without leaving a will; never learned the cause of his death.
He was possibly buried on his home place. Four years after William's death
George W. Grant, his brother filed for Administration of the Estate and
Guardianship of William's minor children. By this time Margaret had remarried
to Joseph M. Jones and there appeared to have been ill feelings between Joseph
Jones and George Grant as there ensued a court battle between the two for
several years with the Court finally appointing arbitrators to settle the Estate
of William Grant deceased in 1860.At that time Joseph and Margaret Jones had to
turn over what was left of the Estate to George Grant. It appears that for a
time the children were bound to Joseph Jones for $500.00 which was to be paid
back to George Grant by Joseph Jones, but apparently George Grant eventually
took the boys from Joseph and Margaret Jones and Lydia stayed with her mother,
Margaret Jones till the time of her mothers death in about 1863 - 1866, and at
this time George Grant tried to take her but Joseph Jones asked the Court to
change guardianship to Solomon Collum, Lydia's grandfather. Apparently he was
given guardianship as Lydia was living with her grandparent's, Solomon and Mary
Collum in 1870 Montgomery, Arkansas. Lydia was listed in the household as a
Collum not Grant.

The three boys', James T.,
William B. and John R. Grant was said to have run away from their Uncle Dick
(George Grant) when they were in their teens. I found William and John in Texas
in 1870, but didn't locate James in1870. James did enlist in the Civil War at
age 15 or 16.

Notes for JOSEPH
MARTIN
JONES:

Joseph and Sarah Jones owned a
farm one mile south of Springtown, Parker, Texas. The farm was left to (JD)
Joseph Daniel Jones, Joseph and Sarah's youngest son, after the death of Joseph
Martin Jones in 1902. Sarah lived with her son, JD Jones and his wife Lela. JD
and Lela later move to Oklahoma and Sarah then lived with her oldest son George
Jones, and his wife Ruth until her death in 1925.

The Jones family had long been
prominent, and contributed in countless ways to the schools, the churches, and
the general welfare of the community and were active in all phases of civic
life. Mr. and Mrs. Jones were members of the Presbyterian Church, but after the
death of Joseph Jones the Presbyterian Church disbanded at Springtown, Mrs.
Jones joined the Methodist Church. (From the History of Springtown, Parker
County Texas)

Alex's name was probably
Alexander Edward A. Jones, as the 1860 census gave his name as Edward and 1870
census gave his name as Alex A. and 1880 gave his name as Edly.

Springtown, Parker, Texas states
Alex died at age 17 but he was on the 1880 census for Parker County, Texas dated
June 21, which would have been 1879 as the 1880 census was taken from June 1,
1879 to May 31, 1880.
